BUSINESS MATTERS
Most importantly, report fraud. You can report it to the Postal Inspection Service, the Federal Trade Commission, or the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). You should also report the profile and messages to the platform where the contact occurred.
Finally, seek support! Scams also cause emotional harm, so talk to trusted friends, family members, or a counselor. If you believe you've been the victim of any scam connected to the U.S. Mail, contact postal inspectors at 877-876-2455 or www.USPIS.gov/report. For more information on fraud prevention, visit www.USPIS.gov/ncpw-2026.
* Contact local police. If you lost significant sums of money or were threatened, the police need to be notified.
* If you used cryptocurrency, contact law enforcement immediately. Tracing is difficult, but reported early, there may be a chance of recovering your funds.
